Document Summary
Methodology: words can mean different things in different contexts - no universal language. Ex. property - everyone has property, not as much capitalist: descriptive and normative views. Karl marx - capitalism - why is going to be unstable because there will be endless conflict, why the capitalist machine will concentrate everything in the hands of a few producers. Durkheim - i"m a sociologist, if they are too alone (divorced, unemployed) there is a good chance they"ll kill themselves. I can tell you about society (whether they"re happy, normal, abnormal, miserable). Sociologist deal with society - this is what durkheim felt - this is however jus a small definition. If you want to understand what"s happening in the world you want to know when is it that social change comes from politics, from economic chance, from urbanization or family structure.
